Steve, Janelle, Erica and family, Adam and Garrett: I hate that so many miles and illness has kept us all from seeing each other and not being able to spend some time with Aunt Shirley. She was an amazing woman and a wonderful Aunt. So many memories of her and Uncle Gene coming out to Grandma Grandpa's for Thanksgiving and Christmas and then when Grandma and Grandpa moves to town. You were just a baby then. We were so excited when you and Susie came along and had cousins on Moms side of the family.I know Aunt Shirley is now with Jesus and our Heavenly Father. I will miss talking to her but I know she is no longer in pain. RIP Aunt Shirley and Steve, know we are praying for God to provide you alll peace and comfort. We love you!
